I'M A 23 YEAR OLD FORMER GUITAR PERFORMANCE MAJOR FROM EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY. ASIDE FROM TEACHING AT THE PAC, I'M CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THE BAND 7 Day Sun FROM LOUISVILE KENTUCKY AS THE LEAD GUITARISTS. I'VE PLAYED IN MANY DIFFERENT AREAS OF MUSIC FROM THE NU METAL BAND EXECRATE, DEATH METAL BAND AS LEAD GUITARIST IN HEADSTONED, THRASH/METAL BAND SHUND, ROCK INSTRUMENTAL BAND E.S.P. ,A METALLICA TRIBUTE BAND, FUNK/METAL BAND SUGGADADDY, ETC... TO MORE LAID BACK GROUPS OF ClASSICAL SOLO/ENSEMBLE ELECTRIC AND ACOUSTIC NYLON GUITAR SETS AT EKU, WORKED IN ClASSICAL TRIOS,DUETS, QUARTETS,AND MAINY SOLO SETS, WORKED WITH VARIOUS ACOUSTIC ACTS, MY OWN SOLO PROJECTS, AND MAINY MORE JAZZ AND BLUES GROUPS.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... AND TO ADD, A LITTLE FRAGMENT ABOUT MY HISTORY OF MY BEGININGS I STARTED PLAYING MUSIC IN THE 4TH GRADE BAND AT SCHOOL (I PLAYED THE SAX). I PLAYED IN THE SCHOOL'S CONCERT BAND ALL THRU MIDDLE SCHOOL AND IN HIGH SCHOOL, I ADDED THE JAZZ BAND TOO. I DIDN'T START PLAYING GUITAR UNTIL THE END OF MY 8TH GRADE YEAR AND PICKED UP DRUMS THAT SAME YEAR. THAT WAS WHEN I MET FRIENDS KEVIN ARNOLD, DANIEL LAVON, AND CHRIS ELI (GUITARIST FOR FALSE). WE STARTED PLAYING COVER SONGS FROM NIRVANA, GUNS 'N' ROSES, AND METALLICA. MY FRESHMAN YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL DANIEL LAVON AND I MET UP WITH BASSIST SLIM. WE JAMMED TOGETHER ALL THROUGHOUT MY HIGH SCHOOL YEARS. THE THREE OF US NEVER HAD A DRUMMER, BUT WE COULD STILL JAM WITH THE BEST OF 'EM! DANIEL LAVON LEFT THE THREE OF US AND HEADED OFF TO DO HIS OWN THING LEAVING SLIM AND MYSELF TO DO OUR OWN MUSICAL IDEAS. THAT WAS WHEN I CAME INTO CONTACT WITH MANY OTHER OPPORTUNITIES THAT I HAD NO IDEA WERE OUT THERE WITH OTHER GREAT GROUPS AND MUSICIANS…. AFTER MY SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL I LEFT OFF TO COLLEGE, EKU. I WAS A GUITAR PERFORMANCE MUSIC MAJOR AT EKU, ATTENDING EKU FOR 2 YEARS. IT WASN'T UNTIL MY FRESHMAN YEAR OF COLLEGE THAT I REALIZED THAT YOU CAN STILL PUT CREATIVITY AND DIFFERENT STYLES OF MUSIC IN TODAY'S HEAVY METAL MUSIC. I'VE LEARNED HOW TO APPLY JAZZ RUNS, ARPEGGIOS, ETC.. TO MY LEADS TO SPICE THINGS UP. I STARTED LISTENING TO BANDS SUCH AS DREAM THEATRE, STEVE VAI, OLDER TESTAMENT, AND EVEN JAZZ AND CLASSICAL PLAYERS. GETTING AWAY FROM THE FAST 208 TEMPOS WAS A NICE CHANGE FOR ME. WHEN I PLAYED CLASSICAL PIECES I NOTICED I WASN'T PLAYING AS CLEAN AS I THOUGHT I WAS. PLAYING MELODY PIECES SLOWLY YOU COME TO FIND OUT THAT YOU'RE NOT AS GOOD AS YOU THOUGHT, EVERY MISTAKE STICKS OUT.
